Hi Everyone,
I need as much help/advice/info I can get please please please and thank you!!
I'm currently 20 and live in the US, and I am HIGHLY considering moving to Italy. I'm blessed enough to be the type of person who, if I really want something and put my mind to it, I can make it happen.
I went there almost 4 years ago and I absolutely fell in love with it. My family is exactly like Italian/Greek cultures so when I was in Italy in 09, i felt so at home it freaked me out a little bit. And when I returned to the US, I felt so out of place I honestly couldn't believe it.
I've gone back and forth with deciding what I want to do with my life (but you don't have to know that, it's a long story haha). And I think I would be completely happy if I just worked an average job and just lived comfortably in Italy for the rest of my life, rather than living in luxury (and 5 million pounds of stress and anxiety) in the US.
I currently work at Apple, so I was thinking I could get transfered to the store in Rome?
I would also plan on finding an apartment to share or just look for a rented room, and I am assuming I would be able to make a decent living that way.
I'm only nervous because I don't know what expenses are like there, so I don't know if working at Apple alone would allow me to keep up with my expenses. I was thinking about picking up a bar-tending permit because I heard it makes good money and I guess if Apple isn't enough I could pick up a job like that.
I don't really know anyone who could accurately tell me if I'd be able to make it or not, so I stumbled upon this forum and was so happy.
I would gratefully appreciate anyone's help, if you could tell me what you think or give me any advice/help on that?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond!
Sincerely,
Lost, Stressed, and Can't Decide
